What is a Calcutta?

A Calcutta is a betting pool where every team in a tournament is auctioned off to the highest bidder. The bids together form the prize pot. A cheap team that overperforms pays outsized returns.

How payouts work

Most of the pot pays out across the first phase, pro-rata on the points each team earns. The rest is paid for knockout advancement, split evenly among each round's winners — so payouts grow as the field narrows. The exact split varies by tournament.
